Puntiagudo-Cordón Cenizos (Spanish pronunciation: [puntjaˈɣuðo koɾˈðon seˈnisos]) is a snow-capped volcanic chain located in the Andes, in Los Lagos RegionofChile, near Volcán Osorno. It lies between Rupanco Lake and Todos los Santos Lake.『Volcán Puntiagudo』(Spanish for "Sharp-pointed volcano") is a stratovolcano with a prominent 2,493 m high sharp-pointed summit that results from glacial dissection and gets its name from this feature. According to locals,[who?] the Puntiagudo volcano lost some of its sharp point in the earthquake of 1960 (9.4–9.6 Mw).[citation needed] So the volcano was more pointed than it is today.[citation needed] Puntiagudo is also given the name Cerro Cenizas.
Puntiagudo is partially contained within Vicente Pérez Rosales National Park.
